Entertainment Tonight covered Bristol's drive to Wasilla with Mark Ballas, her partner on Dancing with the Stars, as well as a Dance Bristol Dance rally held outside Sonja's Dance Studio where the dynamic dancing duo is rehearsing for Monday night's show. Governor Palin will be in the audience for Week Two. Bristol also had an exclusive interview with In Touch Weekly.

As it turns out, dancing is a family affair. "[My sister] Piper takes hip-hop class here [Ed. Note: Sonja's in Wasilla], and ballet and jazz and tap dance, and she has for a long time, and our cousin takes dance lessons there [Ed Note: a studio in Anchorage]," Bristol said as she drove Ballas to Wasilla.

Bristol established her Facebook Page, on September 21. Less than 27 hours later, she secured 1,000 friends there. US for Palin and venues where its content is syndicated broke both the Facebook page establishment and 1,000 friends milestone stories. As of this writing Bristol has 1,761 Facebook friends. Bristol is a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, and an advocate against teen pregnancy for the Candies Foundation. Her performance of the Cha-Cha-Cha with Ballas propelled Bristol to the Week Two Round of Dancing with the Stars, which airs Monday, September 27, 2010.

The complete Entertainment Tonight (ET) interview airs Monday, September 27, 2010.
